7th December at Harper Adams University and online
We are pleased to confirm the first five speakers for this year’s SWMC Conference. Dr Philippa Mansfield (Natural England) will be presenting “Improving soil and farm resilience with the Sustainable Farming Incentive” and Dr Marie Kirby (Harper Adams University) will be speaking on the subject of the removal of contaminants from Anaerobic Digestation and other wastewater using electrocoagulation, and she will lead a tour to show the installation of this technology at Harper Adams. Ian Rudge (Agrii Sustainability Trials Manager and former Farm Manager, Bedfordia Farms) will share his experience of management of digestate and slurries in a reduced tillage environment. Neil Furniss (local farmer) will be presenting his experiences of under-storey sowing of crops in maize. Alison Karley (James Hutton Institute) will be speaking on “the practicalities and benefits of mixed species cropping”. We will update you as soon as we secure others speakers for this event, of which there are several in the pipeline.
We will make an application for BASIS points in due course.
